The Linux kernel mailing list has a new patch proposing the retirement of the x32 ABI, reports Phoronix:

The Linux x32 ABI for x86_64 processors allow making use of the full 64-bit register file and wide data path but retaining 32-bit pointers to provide for a smaller memory footprint when not needing 64-bit pointers. Linux x32 came to the party late and didn't enjoy much adoption over the years and is now looking at possible removal from the Linux kernel. The x32 code was a nice concept for helping lower memory footprint requirements while otherwise making use of the x86_64 capabilities, but with its limited adoption and x86_64 simply being the de facto standard these days, Linux kernel developers are looking at phasing out the x32 ABI. The x32 ABI was added in Linux 3.4 back in 2012 plus also required updated compiler support too.


The proposed patch argues "there is practically no real use for x32," noting that some Linux vendors (like Debian) already disable x32 by default to reduce attack surfaces. "Should nothing happen within the next half year, lets remove code bits around August after the summer break."

Discussions about dropping x32 support first started in 2018...

Call Of Duty: Warzone is shutting down on PS4 and Xbox One later this year, reports Kotaku.

As Call of Duty fully transitions to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S (and Switch 2), its popular battle royale spin-off, Warzone, is also ditching the old consoles. Later this year, Warzone will no longer be playable on PS4 or Xbox One...

Shortly after Modern Warfare 4 ( MW4) launches on October 23, it will be integrated with Warzone. But because MW4 is skipping PS4 and Xbox One, Activision is starting the process of shutting down Warzone on those older consoles... "Beginning June 4, the game will no longer be available for new downloads on those platforms," [Activision wrote on their blog], "though existing players can continue playing until Season 1 launches. Certain items, such as Call of Duty Points bundle purchases, will no longer be available on those platforms...."

Players who have properly linked their platform accounts to their Activision accounts will be able to keep all their progress and unlocks once they leap to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, or PC. Activision also confirmed on its support site that all past Call of Duty games will remain playable online on PS4 and Xbox One.

The upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 "will be set against a full-scale invasion of South Korea," according to the Washington Post. And they report that Infinity Ward will release the game October 23 "on all modern gaming platforms including, notably, the Nintendo Switch 2. (The blockbuster franchise has long skipped Nintendo consoles.)"

The campaign introduces Private Park, a young Korean soldier thrown into combat for the first time, framed as a classic "zero-to-hero story" against the backdrop of global calamity. The franchise's most recognizable hero, Capt. John Price, also returns, this time as a rogue agent, picking up the story of the Modern Warfare timeline that began with 2019's reboot title... [T]he game features a fictional North Korean leader, rather than Kim Jong Un or his family. Infinity Ward said it consulted regional specialists, people who defected from the North and the studio's own Korean employees.

When asked whether the studio is braced for a diplomatic response from Pyongyang (familiar territory for the series), [Jack O'Hara, co-head of Infinity Ward] was dry about it. "We've had state responses to our games before. We'll find out what we all think about each other soon enough," he said...

Infinity Ward is making its most significant mechanical changes in years. The game will remove "bloom," the randomized bullet spread visual trick that game developers use to simulate gunfire chaos, while firing guns from the hip. Instead, bullets will exit the gun in the same direction as the visible recoil on screen, rewarding aim over chance... The studio is also introducing Kill Block, a multiplayer map that reconfigures itself between matches using a modular system of interchangeable sections, producing more than 500 possible layouts.

"A security researcher published a series of unpatched bugs in Microsoft products," reports TechCrunch, "along with code to exploit them."

Microsoft's response to the researcher? "Threatening to take legal action and call the cops on them."




On Wednesday, Microsoft published a blog post criticizing the researcher, who goes by the handle "Nightmare Eclipse," for publicly disclosing a series of bugs, including BlueHammer, RedSun, UnDefend, and YellowKey. The flaws affected products such as the Windows built-in antivirus engine Defender and the disk-encryption tool BitLocker.



The core of Microsoft's complaints is that the researcher did not attempt to report the bugs so that the company could fix them. That would have been "responsible," as Microsoft's blog put it. The other side of the company's argument is that by publishing the details of the bugs and how to exploit them before they were patched, Nightmare Eclipse may have aided malicious hackers. Some of the vulnerabilities Nightmare Eclipse disclosed have since been used by hackers in real-world attacks, according to Microsoft, as well as the U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA. "Our Digital Crimes Unit will continue bringing cases against these actors and those that enable their criminal activity — coordinating as needed with law enforcement around the world," Microsoft wrote...


In a series of blog posts published in the last couple of weeks — without providing many specific details — Nightmare Eclipse claimed to have been in contact with Microsoft, but the company allegedly mistreated them, including revoking access to their Microsoft Security Response Center account, the portal where researchers can report vulnerabilities to the tech giant. Nightmare Eclipse's implication was that they had no choice but to release the vulnerabilities publicly... The researchers published the bugs on open source repositories GitHub (owned by Microsoft) and GitLab. The researchers' accounts on those platforms have been banned...

In response to this latest controversy with Nightmare Eclipse, countless researchers have shared their bad experiences reporting bugs to Microsoft.

Optimism is not high for Mauricio Pochettino’s co-hosts, who are under pressure to justify fans’ considerable outlay on tickets

Paris Saint-Germain supporters aimed fireworks at police officers who responded with teargas, according to reports

Paris police deployed thousands of officers to control crowds at some of the city’s hotspots, using teargas and arresting more than 130 people, after Paris Saint-Germain’s win over Arsenal in Saturday’s Champions League final.

Footage aired on the news channel BFM showed scenes of tensions and brief skirmishes around PSG’s Parc de Princes stadium in western Paris, where more than 40,000 people watched the club win its second consecutive title on penalties at the Puskas Arena in Budapest on giant screens.

Some struggle to love Mikel Arteta’s side but they went toe-to-toe with PSG in a gruelling, high-grade contest

It always seemed likely, somehow, that Arsenal’s season was going to come down to Gabriel Magalhães and a set piece. Just not, ideally, like this.

Football does love a note of dramatic irony. And while Arsenal may have lost this Champions League final on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain after three brain-mangling hours of unresolved jab, smother and counter-thrust in the humid green bowl of the Puskas Arena, this was also a brilliant, high-grade, dizzyingly tense game of football.

Veterans such as Messi and Modric are much in evidence at the finals, but an obsession with celebrity may undermine Portugal

It turns out that 2022 wasn’t Lionel Messi’s last dance after all. He will turn 39 during the World Cup, but despite concerns over the “muscular overload” that led to him limping out of Inter Miami’s 6-4 win over Philadelphia Union on Sunday, he remains the figure on whom Argentinian hopes rely.

Messi won’t be the only veteran in Canada, the US and Mexico: Cristiano Ronaldo, aged 41, will also be there – inevitably, given how his career and Messi’s seem inextricably bound. So will Luka Modric and Edin Dzeko, plus the goalkeepers Manuel Neuer, Craig Gordon, Guillermo Ochoa and Vozinha, all of whom are 40. And there is one 39-year-old other than Messi: the Japan defender Yuto Nagatomo.

Death is the most probable outcome if connected to the monitor by copper wire while holding a beer and start the compile again, in all other cases resetting environment variables and reading a Makefile until it works is the path forward.

I prefer cocaine.
"Folks, cocaine is inevitable. It's endemic and there's nothing we can ever do to resolve that. We have to learn to live in a world where cocaine is part of the norm. At the very least we shouldn't be so militant about casual or benevolent cocaine. Instead of wasting time trying to stop cocaine, we need to refocus on promoting local, on-device, ethical cocaine"

Wielrenster Lorena Wiebes is de zege in de eerste etappe van de Giro d’Italia Women kwijt en uit de ronde gezet. De organisatie heeft de Nederlandse kampioene gediskwalificeerd omdat haar fiets niet aan het vereiste minimumgewicht zou hebben voldaan.

In een wedstrijd die in niets leek op de finale van vorig seizoen, wint opnieuw Paris Saint-Germain. De Fransen blijken ook zonder spektakel te kunnen winnen. Voor Arsenal rest het vieren van de vorige week behaalde landstitel.

Marcia Lucas has died. The former wife of Star Wars creator George Lucas shared an Oscar for co-editing the first Star Wars movie, helped behind the scenes on The Empire Strikes Back, and co-edited Return of the Jedi. As time went on, her contributions to the blockbuster trilogy were less and less acknowledged.
